Dolls

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 27 May 2009. Posted in Courtney.

We had some of the New York Dolls over to the Odditorium for dinner the other night. So fun. Really cool guys. Had great food and drank a case of damn nice wine. Then we jammed. Zia and Sylvain Sylvain put some French vocals on a piece of our Tafelmusik record and boy is it cool. I think we might actually have a single in french speaking countries for our three hour record. We also had them play on the Breathe Easy project which we will hopefully have time to crank back up fairly soon.

Removing The Undigestive

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 19 May 2009. Posted in Courtney.

Our three hour dinner party soundtrack is progressing surprisingly well. After quickly learning to remove any “undigestive” sounds, putting our loops and keyboard jams into a sensible evenings order has been fairly simple so far. Minimalism being the key to subtlety here.

By the way, we regret now terribly not setting a camera up during those jam days but we’re going to at our next practices. We’ll post them somehow. Even if they’re not interesting.

Here’s a random section of one of our new Tafelmusik tracks.

I’m thinking that this minute should fall somewhere well after salad but not way into the main or anything. Maybe during soup. I love a good soup.

Possessed by Anton

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 23 Mar 2009. Posted in Courtney.

So Anton came by and possessed our studio for a bit before their show. Played us some more of his stuff. He also laid down a Julee Cruise style bass synth part on our new music/album/recording/whatever project. I’ll get some of that up soon, I am just very disorganized by nature and my work ethic is sporadic and of it’s own nature.

Anton said it’s cool to put some of my favorite one so here’s some of my favorite one:

And here’s Anton possessing our studio.

One of the only baroque records that I truly love is a collection of tafelmusik by Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer. Back in those days the very wealthy and powerful would hire their favorite composer to make music to dine to. Thus tablemusic became a genre.

Recently we have begun recording some very cool music that I’m hoping will become an album of perfect modern tafelmusik. Somebody’s gotta do it. We have a lot of dinner parties so we’ll be able to take it for a lot of test runs. Fun. As we go, I’ll put little thirty second bits of it up that FatHead records live on his laptop microphone.
